  • Details
    The White Peak Distillery is based in Ambergate, Derbyshire, 12 miles North of Derby city centre. It was founded by Max and Claire Vaughan in 2016, following a dream for years of producing a single malt whisky in Derbyshire, despite no previous experience in the drinks industry. The distillery is sited in a 24km stretch of the Derwent Valley that was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status in 2001, within the old Maintenance and Store Sheds of the Johnson & Nephew wire works that date back to 1876 and lasted for 120 years, which itself was rebuilt from a family owned iron forge from the early 1800s. The motto for the distillery is taken from that of the wire works – Virtus Patienta Veritus, the virtue of patience and truth.

    Initial releases from White Peak include a range of gins and a Cask Aged Rum, with their first Single Malt Whisky release initially scheduled for launch in November of 2021. However, supply issues with the distinctive bottle that pays homage to the wire and cable produced by the old factory meant the first release was delayed to February 2022.

    The team employ a long fermentation and use two copper pot stills of 3,000 and 2,100 litres in volume. Water is sourced from the River Derwent immediately adjacent to the distillery, utilising some of the old pumping infrastructure for their condenser cooling system. English barley is used, and when I visited a couple of days before the launch of their First Release the team had begun a run of spirit that was using barley taken purely from Derbyshire.

    'Over Smoke' was an interesting look at whisky matured in an STR cask that during the recharring process had the lid left on for longer than normal, meaning the charring process had a greater impact. The end result is a somehow fuller, deeper feel of smoke without overpowering the fruity character of the spirit.

    This bottle is being sold on behalf of a customer of The Spirit Specialist - bottle number 1168 of 1263. The bottle is fully sealed and intact and the fill level is high. The condition of the bottle, labelling and neck tag is all pristine. However please note this does not come with the distinctive cardboard packaging that distillery orders were shipped with.

    If you have any questions about this bottle, would like to see more pictures or make an offer on a purchase price please get in touch!

    For the sake of transparency, The Spirit Specialist will receive a commission of the total sale price.
